Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of waste combustion. It departs from a method of controlling a steam output of a waste incineration plant as described in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Waste is any type of residual material that remains after any human activity, such as production and consumption of goods or the construction of buildings and traffic ways.
  • the majority of the residual materials are, except for their pure mass and volume, not a potential threat to the environment, nevertheless their correct treatment can help to minimize or avoid associated long-term risks.
  • a sophisticated municipal waste management also helps to reduce the costs of waste treatment and to avoid the destruction of large areas which otherwise would be needed for waste dumping.
  • the thermal treatment of waste i.e. the waste incineration or combustion
  • Incineration is understood as the deliberately initiated, controlled and, in the wider sense, observed, self-sustaining oxidation of any substance.
  • flue gases and ashes are the products of such waste incineration processes.
  • Ashes are residual matters of different compositions that contain mainly silicon oxide and other minerals. Due to their chemical inertia they are often used for landfills and for civil engineering.
  • waste incineration plants Municipal and industrial waste is treated in waste incineration plants in order to reduce the volume of the waste to be deposited and in order to transform environmentally hazardous components of the waste into harmless compounds.
  • the increasing amount of waste to be treated leads to the design of incineration plants with multiple tracks, which are able to incinerate several ten tons of waste per hour.
  • So-called waste-to-energy plants do not just burn the waste to ashes, they also use the combustion energy to generate steam, e.g. for district heating, and/or electricity and thus improve the overall efficiency of the plant.
  • the sophisticated installations for flue gas and ash treatment as well as energy conversion increase the complexity of the plants and call for a suitable control technique.
  • the variability of the waste composition relates to, in particular, the heating value or the moisture content of the waste, or the amount of sand, gravel or other non-combustible materials, such as metals, in the waste.
  • control parameters which can be used to influence the combustion process in waste incineration plants are the mass flows of primary and secondary combustion air, the air temperature, the amount of returned flue gas, the amount of waste or fuel fed and the transportation speed or the stoking speed of a grate. These parameters have to be optimized according to expected and unexpected variations in water content and heating value of the waste, with the objective to maximize the amount of waste that can be treated or the amount of steam that can be generated, and/or to minimize the amount of air pollutant emissions. In many industrial application the different control variables are controlled independently one from the other, by means of single loops and PID controllers.
  • the combustion process may be regulated in response to a temperature distribution of the fuel mass determined by an infrared camera, the oxygen content detected in the flue gas, or a generated mass flow of steam.
  • it is suggested to detect a three-dimensional distribution of the fuel mass on at least a part of the grate.
  • the fuel mass contour is scanned by radar or by directing a plurality of video cameras on the fuel mass at different angles, and the amount of energy locally released by combustion in individual zones is deduced.
  • the availability of the corresponding on-line temperature measurements opened the way to novel control schemes trying to imitate an operator of the combustion plant, and based e.g. on neural networks or fuzzy logic as described in the article "A neuro-fuzzy adaptive control strategy for refuse incineration plants" by B. Krause et al., Fuzzy Sets and Systems 63, pp 329-338, 1994 .
  • This objective is achieved by a method of and a system for controlling a waste combustion process according to the claims 1 and 6. Further preferred embodiments are evident from the dependent patent claims.
  • the steam production in a waste combustion process is controlled by determining waste feed rate control values from a relation approximating the steam flow as a sum of independent steam contributions depending on operational parameters that are accessible in real-time.
  • the operational parameters include process inputs such as mass flows of primary and secondary combustion air, as well as process states such as waste and flame temperatures.
  • the independent steam contributions are inspired by the real physical part-processes and account for the strong non-linearity of the combustion process in the operational parameters. They are multiplied by process-specific, a-priori unknown regression coefficients accounting for all kinds of uncertainties or variations in the combustion process.
  • the proposed polynomial approximation of the steam flow separates the contributions depending in a non-linear way on the measured process inputs and states from a limited number of linear regression coefficients that are nevertheless capable of capturing all possible variations of the waste composition if properly chosen.
  • the process-specific values of a number N' of the coefficients are derived or tuned in a training step from N data sets comprising operational values, i.e. values measured during operation of the specific incineration plant, of the operational parameters and corresponding steam flows.
  • the operational values of the data sets that are evaluated in order to derive a relation or expression relating the steam flow to the operational parameters comprise values of a waste temperature or a combustion temperature.
  • a time delay between a waste feed control action and its effect on the steam production is estimated and accounted for by including in the data sets correspondingly earlier values of the waste feed rate.
  • the individual steps or functional modules of the method according to the invention are implemented as programmed software modules or procedures.
  • the computer program code of the software modules is stored in a computer program product for controlling one or more processors of a waste incineration control system, particularly, in a computer program product including a computer readable medium containing therein the computer program code means.
  • Fig.1 schematically shows a waste incineration plant with a number of basic components.
  • An input feed mechanism or actuator 10 introduces the municipal or industrial waste, garbage or other debris into a furnace 11 and places the former on a supported movable grate 12 at a particular waste feed rate w 0 , thereby forming a waste bed.
  • the grate 12 generally comprises some oppositely moving grate plates to spread and mix the waste and forward it along the grate 12.
  • Auxiliary burners 13 may be provided in order to start or support the combustion processes.
  • the combusted flue gases are collected in a flue gas tract or flue gas channel 14 upstream of the furnace 11 and guided to a boiler or steam generator 15.
  • the incineration process is divided into four zones to be serially traversed by the waste: Drying zone 20, first combustion zone for pyrolysis and gasification/volatilization 21, residual zone for char oxidation or solid combustion 22, and ash treatment/sintering zone 23. These zones are actually not very well separated in the furnace and can overlap to a certain extent.
  • Primary air 30 is fed from below the grate in generally different amounts to the four abovementioned zones 20, 21, 22, 23.
  • Secondary air 31 is fed above the grate to ensure complete combustion of the gasification and pyrolysis products in the second combustion zone 24.
  • Eq. 2 is strongly nonlinear and the influence of the incoming waste feed rate w 0 is not clearly identifiable.
  • any uncertainty based on the unknown quantities from eq.1 and eq.2 are incorporated in the regression coefficients ⁇ i .
  • Eq.3 is nonlinear in the operational parameters, i.e. the process inputs u 2 , u 3 , w 0 and the process states x LL , x GC , but it is linear in the regression coefficients ⁇ i .
  • This particular form of eq.3 allows estimating the regression coefficients ⁇ i on-line without excessive computational power using e.g. a Recursive Least Square (RLS) method as detailed in the following.
  • RLS Recursive Least Square
  • Fig.2 depicts the steps of controlling a waste incineration process according to the invention.
  • step 40 during operation of the waste incineration plant, operational values of the operational parameters u 2 , u 3 , x GC , x LL , w 0 (or the respective control signals and sensor output signals) as well as a value of a corresponding steam flow rate ⁇ steam are measured repeatedly, thus forming a total of N data sets.
  • these data sets are evaluated to identify N' ⁇ N regression coefficients ⁇ i of a regression relation relating the steam flow rate to the operational parameters.
  • step 42 a set-point or target ⁇ steam of the steam output flow is provided.
  • a control value of the waste feed rate w 0 is calculated by solving the regression relation with said set-point and present values of all operational parameters except w 0 .
  • the control value is finally applied to a waste feed actuator 10 of the waste incineration plant.
  • Step 44 designates the possibility that new data sets may be available regularly or occasionally, necessitating an update of the regression coefficients, or that a new set point or a changing present value of an operational parameter requires a recalculation of the waste feed rate. Regarding the former possibility, the greater the diversity or variability of the data sets to be evaluated, the more trustful will be the regression coefficients ⁇ i resulting there from when it comes to dynamic fuel variations.
  • the first steam contribution represents the influence of the primary and secondary air
  • the second steam contribution denoted by ⁇ 2
  • the latter contribution comprises a first exponential term giving the combustion rate of the solid phase as a function of the waste temperature x LL
  • a second term giving the combustion rate of the gaseous phase as a function of the flame temperature x GC .
  • Fig.3 shows the result of a simulation that has been run using MATLAB Simulink in order to test the feasibility of the proposed control scheme.
  • a constant waste composition and a steam flow set point ⁇ steam (top graph, curve A) changing occasionally from a first value to a second value and back were assumed.
  • the method according to the present invention was then applied to a waste combustion process that was itself modeled using a waste combustion model of reasonable complexity.
  • the waste feed rate w 0 (bottom graph, curve B) controlled as detailed in the foregoing and the actual steam flow (top graph, curve C) resulting there from are likewise depicted and demonstrate that after a few initial oscillations, the steam flow set point is followed quite accurately.
  • a corresponding delay time ⁇ is introduced into the relations above.
  • This time delay can be in the order of up to one hour, and physically relates to the waste residence time in the initial grate zone.
  • the time delay ⁇ is estimated, and a correspondingly earlier value of the waste feed rate w 0 is associated to the measured values of the operational parameters for the purpose of estimating the coefficients ⁇ i .
